Jersey Jazzman asks AN EXCELLENT QUESTION ABOUT TFA, given claims for how miraculous an organization it is:

” It’s really remarkable how little we can say definitively about TFA and teacher attrition. And yet the feds gave them a nice chunk of change. Didn’t anyone think to do a cost-benefit analysis before handing over the dough? Wouldn’t some basic statistics about the effectiveness of the program go a long way toward guarding the interests of taxpayers?
